This machine should be pretty fast, it's got a quad core CPU in it. I know Vista is on a DVD and takes up a lot more space. While booting off the Vista dvd, it went to the bar which loaded kind of quickly, then it went to the screen with the Vista background and a cursor and just sat there for about 5 minutes until it finally brought up the screen where you could click next to install Vista, then while it was expanding files, it stayed at 0 percent for at least a minute, I'm just wondering is that about how fast it should be or is it really slow?
